More screen reader accessibility

As much as I love using this app, it would get a higher rating from me if it were more compatible with screen reading software; specifically voiceover, which is what I use on my iPhone.

I’m a blind user who absolutely loves live streaming on Facebook and while past versions of the app have worked well enough for voiceover to notify me when people are watching as well as reading their comments, allowing me to interact with my viewers in real time, that compatibility has been lost with recent updates to the app. Now whenever I live stream, all VoiceOver will say when I try scrolling through to see who’s watching/commenting is “profile picture,“ “profile picture,“ “profile picture.“

Seriously, stop Messing with this!

Just to give a general picture of what I’m talking about here, it was more accessible to me until about a couple months ago before losing its accessibility for about a month. Then once again, I was able to interact with my friends/viewers during live videos for another couple weeks in mid March, only for that rendered incompatible once again with an update to the Facebook app; there have been a couple more since then, and this issue hasn’t been fixed.
